Aracely has been very nervous and has had trouble focusing. The thought of her house catching fire keeps her awake at night. She also has difficulty leaving the house for fear that it will catch fire while she is gone. These concerns began to bother Aracely after her sister’s house caught fire.Which warning sign of mental health issues does Aracely’s behavior demonstrate?

Aracely’s fear that her house will catch fire is interfering with her sleep, concentration, and ability to leave home. Although the worry began after a real fire affected her sister, the persistent fear about her own house catching fire is an example of illogical thinking among these choices. Apathy, mood swings, and excessive sleeping do not describe her behavior.
